Chapter 418 Master of Education

The third week of the game finally came to an end, four big games, the Warriors won three, the first game Billups was injured in the lineup, the team lost understandably, after all, the sudden lack of a backcourt commander has a huge impact on the team's combat effectiveness, and many tactics cannot be used.

Through the next three games, Chamberlain's ability to lead the team has been affirmed, in fact, it is nonsense to say that the command is, the fans just want to see how strong your combat effectiveness is, and whether you can play shocking statistics to create enough opportunities for your teammates.

With the third week of the game over, this week's big awards are also hot: Devin Harris is the best player in the East, and Chamberlain is the best player of the week in the West.

Chamberlain can understand that LeBron James failed to win the Eastern Conference Weekly Awards, and there are countless Eastern giants: Pierce, Carter, Wade, Bosh, Howard, but it was the little-known Harris who won this honor, which surprised him a little.

However, Harris deservedly won the Weekly Awards, and although he is not the leading big brother of the Nets, he is the second most dominant team, leading the Nets to a 3-1 Western Conference tour last week, defeating the Sacramento Kings, Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns, with the only loss coming to the league leaders Los Angeles Lakers.

Harris is averaging 30 points per game and 6 points per game. 8 assists, 4. Three rebounds and one steal played a decisive role in three wins, especially in the victories over the Jazz and Suns. Against the Jazz, Harris had 34 points, four rebounds, six assists and three steals to help the Nets break the Jazz's devil's home court. Harris went one step further against the Suns, scoring a career-high 47 points, along with eight assists and seven rebounds to help the Nets end their Western Leg with victory.

Chamberlain's Warriors have the same three wins and one loss, but his stats are naturally much more dazzling, averaging 37 per game in four games. 2 points, 20. 5 rebounds, 6. 8 blocks and 4 assists, in the words of the NBA's official review of when he won the Western Conference Weekly Awards: He completely dominated the game, his election needs no explanation, and everything he did was there for all to see!

On November 21, the East-West Weekly Best was just announced, and the Warriors held a press conference to announce two news, both of which were good news for Chamberlain.

The first is the contract renewal news, the Golden State Warriors officially announced the contract extension with captain Stephen Jackson, at the press conference Jackson and general manager Nelson Sr. did not explain the specific details of the contract, but Chamberlain knew that Jackson's contract is 5 years and the total value is about $40 million.

Jackson's contract expires next summer, this season is his player option year, he has the right to trade on his own, Nelson Sr. asked if there was a team he liked, and what Jackson said at the time made Chamberlain's heart warm:

"Boss, you know my temper, I love this team and everyone here. Since I came here in 2006, since last season I feel like the Bay Area arena (Oracle Center) has become my second home, and there are my little brothers here, how can I leave here and go somewhere else, otherwise they are being bullied and I am not there, so what can I do? BOSS, I want to stay, I want to live with this team for the rest of my life, if I can. ”

Hearing this, Chamberlain went up to hug Jackson and said with a smile: "Of course you will, Boss Jack, you are our captain and our leader, although you don't score more than half of my points per game and don't rebound more than half of me." ”

Jackson may have had a bad record in the past, but he is indeed the most suitable person to be the captain of the Warriors, although Chamberlain is tough and righteous, but he is too young and lacks common sense about the unspoken rules of the NBA, he deserves to be the core, and it is not very suitable to be the captain. The Warriors are known as the modern NBA gangster, and Jackson is the obvious choice to be the boss of the gang, and over the past season or so, he has proven with his actions that he can indeed lead the team well.

Although Jackson's offensive level is average, he is quiet, averaging 14 per game per game. 6 points, in addition to 6. 5 rebounds and 3. 8 assists. In fact, he could have scored more points, but he gave more shots to Chamberlain, and later with the arrival of West, Curry, and Morrow, he shared the ball further and without complaint.

Jackson always does the dirtiest and most tiring job of the Warriors, he is the defensive gate on the outside, and the opponent's outside scoring machine is all finished by him, and see who he plays against every game: Kobe, Maddy, Carter, Wade, Little Emperor, Pierce, and sometimes even misplaced to defend Anthony, Bosh, etc. Most of his energy is spent on the defensive end, otherwise how could the Wests be so wanton?

In addition, in the minds of fans, Jackson has also subverted the image of the previous thorn, he is considered a very passionate leader, the Warriors players call him "Jack Boss", "Black Jack", fans like to call him "Captain Jack".

In fact, if Jackson was selfish, he could refuse to accept an early contract extension, so that he could brush up on his data in the contract year this season, just like Lewis and Turkoglou, and brush himself with a big contract, but he didn't do that, but obeyed Nelson's proposal and chose to renew his contract early.

The Warriors did not let Jackson's efforts go down the drain, they gave a five-year contract, this contract is a reverse contract, that is, Jackson's salary in the first year is up to $9.1 million, and then it will decline year by year, this is to avoid the luxury tax, and Chamberlain's contract expires after two years, and it must be a contract with a maximum salary of more than 20 million! In addition, the Warriors also played the sidelines of the NBA's salary rules, setting up a loyalty award for Jackson, which will be rewarded every year for the next five seasons as long as he stays with the Warriors.

Ellis signed a 10-million-level contract, Jackson's tactical role is much more important than Ellis, and he pays much more, there is no reason to take less money than Ellis, the Warriors must give him an explanation, although Jackson has always shown that he does not care.

Of course, Jackson is happy with the contract offered by the team, he is 30 years old and joined the Warriors from the Indiana Pacers in late 2006 and has played a total of 121 regular season games for the Warriors so far. He's the kind of player who relies on physicality to eat, his defense relies more on explosive physicality, and for someone like him, how many years are left in his prime? Two years, three years? For three years at most, Jackson will only be able to get a veteran base salary, but the Warriors are giving him a decent mid- and upper-class contract, and even in the fifth year, he can still get $7 million.

Jackson announced a contract extension, the Warriors were jubilant, he was really popular, every time the players clashed on the court, he was the first to stand up for his teammates, sometimes he had to appease the more grumpy Chamberlain, Ibaka, Curry and Morrow, these rookies rarely suffered in the game, because Chamberlain and Jackson teamed up to cover them.

The second thing in the press conference was that Ellis, who had been suspended for 10 games by the team, was lifted, and he will be able to play from the next game against the Heat! Chamberlain can finally breathe a sigh of relief, cutting 20 rebounds per game and cutting 35 points at the same time, it is too exhausting for him, the lack of outside firepower allows opponents to wrap him up at will, and he has played too hard in these games.

Old Nelson now had a sad face, Chamberlain was strange, and asked: "BOSS, aren't you happy, Boss Jack stayed, Monta can come back, how complete our team is now!" ”

Listening to Chamberlain's words, the elder Nelson sighed and said, "Do you know what the salary cap will be next season?" Do you know what our team's contract looks like right now? Your contract, Chauncey's contract, Monta's contract, and now Stephen, add up to nearly 50 million! And Delonti, he is also going to renew his contract, it must be another 10 million contract, if the boss can't afford the luxury tax, it will be bad! ”

Hearing this, Chamberlain was also a little silent for a while, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "The next time I sign a contract, I don't want to pay a salary." ”

He said this from the bottom of his heart, and with the recovery of the championship brand, he is really not short of money now. Now the biggest player under the championship is naturally Chamberlain, and then West, Curry, Ibaka, and now Jackson's contract with Nike has expired, and he is also ready to sign the championship, and the entire main lineup of the Warriors is almost all covered by the championship.

Chamberlain's market appeal is huge, directly breaking the law that big men don't sell shoes, his Z series sneakers and S series sneakers have now been out of stock, Carvalro keeps traveling around the United States, choosing a new factory site, in addition to he plans to open up the European market, as for the Asian market, that is already their back garden.

Listening to Chamberlain's words, the old Nelson was both a little moved and a little funny, the player's salary is not as much as he wants, the NBA has strict rules, and the minimum annual salary of Chamberlain's next contract cannot be less than 20 million.

was chatting with old Nelson, Chamberlain's mobile phone rang, and when he saw that it was Zhang Zilin calling, he waved his hand and said goodbye to old Nelson. Looking at Chamberlain's back, old Nelson sighed, Chamberlain didn't know what he was worried about, in fact, Richard had already taken action against the relevant hidden dangers, and Ellis might not be able to stay on the team.

Chamberlain answered the phone, and Zhang Zilin's crisp voice rang out: "Big star, what are you busy doing?" ”

"I'm busy answering your call, I saw that it was your call, and I quickly answered it without saying a word, you don't know what to do, I've been fasting, bathing, and burning incense for the past few days, just praying that you can call me, but I didn't expect you to really call." Chamberlain said with a smile, the relationship between him and Zhang Zilin is similar to that of a confidante, although they have not been friends for a long time, Zhang Zilin's upright temper and kind heart are very suitable for his temper.

Listening to Chamberlain's words, Zhang Zilin giggled, and she asked, "Pray that I have to fast, bathe, and burn incense if I make a phone call to you?" If you want to see me, what do you do? ”

Chamberlain smiled and said, "That's amazing, I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid that you won't dare to come to see me." ”

Zhang Zilin's ill-intentioned voice rang out: "It's okay, you can say it, or you can go outside the door of your stadium, and I can listen to it live." ”

When she said this, Chamberlain was stunned for a moment, and then ran out of the stadium to see that Zhang Zilin, who had a shawl with her hair and a shawl, was standing under a statue and holding a mobile phone and smiling sweetly at him.

Chamberlain was taken aback and exclaimed, "Why did you suddenly come to Auckland?" Oh my God, surprise, absolute surprise. ”

Zhang Zilin **** blinked her eyes wide, and smiled: "I miss you, I haven't thought about tea and dinner since you left, and I can't stand it anymore, so I can only come to see you." ”

Chamberlain immediately patted his chest and assured: "Do you have your ID card with you?" Let's go, I'll get you a green card, and then we'll go and register the marriage! ”

"It is estimated that Li Qun will beat you to death, you dare to brag in front of me, you have the ability to really do it, not to mention holding a wedding, you just need to tell reporters that you are dragging me off." Zhang Zilin sneered, her amorous little white eyes almost made Chamberlain's bones crispy, worthy of being a young lady in the world.

Chamberlain gave Zhang Zilin a hug warmly, and the latter opened his arms generously, and then said: "Actually, I came to study in the United States, I was surprised, right?" I'm here for a master's degree, a master's degree in education, at the University of San Francisco, right? ”

Curry and Ibaka, who went out to buy water, happened to come back and saw Chamberlain and Zhang Zilin hugging, the latter smacking his lips with envy and hatred on his face: "Z has changed women again?" Why are you so good at his womanhood? He's ugly. ”

Curry looked at Ibaka calmly and asked, "Do you think I'm ugly?" ”

Ibaka nodded and sneered: "You still have the face to ask, I've always been embarrassed to say that you are uglier than Z!" Not only ugly, but also sissy, at least Z is still very manly. ”

Curry: "So who do you think is handsome?" NBA players. ”

Ibaka thought for a moment: "We have a couple of hot guys on our next opponent, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. ”

Curry: "......"
